CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – The University of Pennsylvania baseball team completed an extra-inning comeback, 7-5, in Game 1 before taking complete control of Game 2, 8-3, in an offensive explosion to pace the Quakers past Harvard in a Saturday doubleheader sweep at O'Donnell Field.
 
Penn (17-20, 9-8 Ivy) is in sole possession of fourth place in the Ivy after the first day of the weekend, a game ahead of Yale (14-21, 8-9) and two games ahead of the Crimson (11-24, 7-10).

Quaker Notemeal
*Wyatt Henseler had an absolutely ridiculous day at the plate for the Quakers, batting .571 (4-for-7) in two games with two home runs—the 49th and 50th of this Penn career—with three RBIs, four runs scored, and 10 total bases. He also walked four times, was hit once, and had an OPS of 2.179 with a 1.429 slugging percentage.
 
*Henseler's day was highlighted by a 3-for-4 effort in Game 2 where he finished with two solo homers and an RBI single, also walking twice.
 
*He also increased his reached-base streak to 22 consecutive games with hits in both games Saturday.
 
*Carson Ozmer went .500 (3-for-6) at the dish with two doubles, three walks and two RBIs, while Calvin Brown (.333), Nick O'Brien (.333), Asa Wilson (.333), and Connor Chavez (.300) all hit above .300 on the afternoon.
 
*Jarrett Pokrovsky finished the afternoon with two hits (including a double) with a team-high tying three RBIs.
 
*Eli Trop (3-2) picked up his third victory of the season after a strong inning of relief in Game 1, striking out one while allowing just one hit. He lowered his team-best ERA to 2.60 and has not surrendered an earned run since Feb. 25 at Abilene Christian.
 
*Thomas Shurtleff registered his first save of the year in Game 1, throwing a scoreless 10th inning with a K.
 
*Ryan Dromboski (2-5) earned the win in Game 2, taking the victory in his second consecutive start. He was dominant to start the outing, finishing with five strikeouts over 5.2 innings of work, allowing three runs while scattering six hits with a walk.

How It Happened (Game 1)
After a scoreless top of the first inning, Penn broke through in the second inning after Ryan Taylor stole second, advanced to third on an error, and scored to give the Quakers a 1-0 lead.
 
Cole Zaffiro walked the third batter he faced in the second inning, but retired the side without allowing a run to score.
 
Zaffiro had strong third and fourth frames to keep the Crimson out of the run column, setting up a productive fifth inning for the Penn offense.
 
Asa Wilson led off the fifth with a single, advancing to second on a wild pitch and getting to third after Connor Chavez singled up the middle. Wyatt Henseler walked to load the bases and Taylor walked in Penn's second run of the afternoon, leading 2-0.
 
Zaffiro started the seventh before giving up a leadoff home run and a single, followed by a groundout that put runners on the corners to give way to Carson Ozmer on the mound. A sacrifice bunt negated by an error for Ozmer brought a run across to score, knotting the game at 2-2.
 
Harvard scored two runs in the eighth inning, via an RBI double down the left-field line and a sacrifice fly to center field to double its lead to 4-2.
 
The Quakers quickly loaded the bases to open the ninth inning by way of single (Qwynn Ahearn), walk (Chavez) and hit by pitch (Henseler) with Jarrett Pokrovsky clearing the bases with two outs to put Penn up 5-4.
 
With one out in the ninth against Ozmer, he surrendered back-to-back singles which prompted Eli Trop to relieve him. Callan Fang ripped a single to right field, bringing home an unearned run to tie the game up at 5-5, forcing extras.
 
Penn recorded two outs with two on to begin the 10th inning. Crimson pitching intentionally walked Henseler to load the bases, bringing up Davis Baker who came through in the clutch, delivering a two-run single through the left side to take a 7-5 advantage.
 
Thomas Shurtleff took over for Trop in the bottom of the 10th, retiring the side 1-2-3 to secure the victory.
 
How It Happened (Game 2)
Chavez led off the game with a bunt single, but left Baker on base to conclude the first.
 
Ryan Dromboski had a solid first frame of work, recording a 1-2-3 inning with a swinging strikeout.
 
Penn scored the game's first run on an RBI single for Calvin Brown as Pokrovsky scored to take a 1-0 lead.
 
Dromboski hit a batter in the second, setting down back-to-back Harvard hitters to get out of the second unscathed.
 
Ozmer ripped a two-run double to left center field to score both Baker and Henseler as the Quakers surged ahead by three, 3-0.
 
In the third, Dromboski made it five consecutive Crimson set down after another 1-2-3 frame, setting up the Quakers' fourth headlined by Henseler's solo shot to go up 4-0.
 
Harvard began the fourth with a George Cooper single to center field and an error to put runners on first and second base. Dromboski went strikeout, walk, and a 4-6-3 double play to end the threat.
 
The Crimson scored three runs on four hits in the fifth inning to trim the Quakers' lead down to 4-3.
 
Penn extended its slim lead in the seventh after Nick O'Brien reached on an error and Pokrovsky scored to make it 5-3.
 
Henseler recorded his second homer of the day in the eighth inning, a solo shot to left, doubling the lead to 6-3 and added two more runs in the ninth on Brown's RBI single to right field and Henseler's RBI single to center as Penn had an 8-3 edge heading into the bottom of the ninth.
 
John Cerwinski started the ninth inning for the Quakers, allowing a one-out single before striking out the next two batters he faced to complete the twin bill sweep for Penn.
